the internet is a whole new world…still. learning to navigate and contribute with integrity online can be tricky. parents raising today's kids have no reference point for what it means to grow up with the internet…and therefor have little insight into how it will affect this next generation. i will truly have no insight if i neglect to examine how my own habits are affecting me. as an adult, i can struggle to set limits and act with integrity myself and often present a shoddy example.

this week jo and i came across a couple people who are learning and growing and exposing what it can look like to develop integrity in these here parts. thought you might be interested.

josh abe of o pioneer wrote eloquently about his "wrestle" with message and method.

jo came across essena o'neill's instagram account this week, which has since been deleted. this one reads slightly like a soap opera, but reveals the soul wrenching that can result from social media devotion. essena's new website shows promise.
